hi. That's brilliant news 😊. I had my op last may for cysts and it turned out I had a full frozen pelvis and stage 4 endometriosis with bladder and bowel involvement. Give yourself plenty of time to rest afterwards I was lucky as I decided to stop work for a while so I just went with how my body felt.

I was very nervous ( I had the operation the day before our daughters birthday) but before a previous surgery a friend who is a surgeon said for that time your health and well being is the most important thing for everyone helping look after you during your surgery and I did feel very well looked after even down to the surgeon being in the recover room afterwards as I had been rather poorly and he was there to reassure me and say he'd go through it with me the day after.

take some magazines, a book, colouring etc for whilst you recover. I also found a sleeping mask and ear plugs an essential item 😃!!
